Description
This is the reverse side of the 1977 Topps card for Dallas Cowboys legend Ed 'Too Tall' Jones. The back features a distinctive pink and brown color scheme on gray cardstock. It includes personal data, interpection records for his first three seasons (1974-1976), and a 'College Corner' section detailing his career at Tennessee State University.
Key Features
Features a key member of the 'Doomsday Defense' and three-time Pro-Bowler. 1970s Cowboys cards remain highly collectible due to the team's massive legacy.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The card displays the correct 1977 Topps copyright line, typical vintage gray cardstock texture, and appropriate dot-matrix printing patterns in the pink sections.
Flaws to Note
Fuzzy edges on the right-hand side indicate standard play-wear. The cardstock shows natural aging (toning). Corners are not razor-sharp, likely capping the grade at a 6 or 7.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (highest exposure), COMC (good for mid-grade vintage), or local card shows in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless it is flawlessly centered and sharp upon physical inspection, as the grading fees will outweigh the market value of a mid-grade vintage common. List as '1977 Topps Ed Too Tall Jones Cowboys'.
